Is this reverse dye sub or double shot?  ABS or PBT?

It's gonna be a reverse dye sub. Full base kit sample before preorders open so people can see the quality before buying.  :thumb:

Really cool set, shame it's Keyreative reverse dyesub. Just saying that makes me go into panic mode.

Yeah, this hits. If this was ABS, I'd be all over it. GLWIC!

UK in base, please?

It's usually viable for monocolour sets. I would like it here.

Thank you! For this to be ABS it would have to be either SUPER expensive or full uv printed, kinda hard to do.

Kitting definitely still gonna change, I got a lot of asks for norde so that kit will probably be made as well  :thumb:

I would love alt alphas with distorted/glitched legends. Would fit the novelties nicely and for the sub 40s/ergo crowd alt alphas with novelties are often enough.

I am so on-the-fence about this one.  I absolutely adore the font, but I can't get past the fact that I'm an ABS guy and PBT sets just don't stay on my keyboard for very long.  Gotta go with "I wouldn't join the GB but will probably cave and buy an in-stock extra, and end up using it maybe three days a year, all the while telling myself that I'm done with PBT and that I won't buy any more PBT sets no matter how cool they look."

I like this but would like to see samples before committing.

I mean, I'm not experienced with this kinda stuff, but from what I've heard, KeyKobo has been killing it lately in the ABS space. Just sayin'.

I just wanted to throw in a vote for PBT since I do not want shiny ABS keycaps.

Doing this set in ABS would have to be fully uv printed, which comes with other problems.

I like this idea a lot and will try to make it happen!

Samples are already done and from the factory video, it looks very promising. Will update you with photos when I get them.

I agree, I'll try to make another design similar to ISO for ANSI enter.

Really love this set idea, and I'm excited to see the samples. GLWIC!

Thank you all for your feedback and for leaving so many kind words both here and on IC form. I should receive samples somewhere next week, then I'll update the post.  :thumb:
